Abstract
Description
- The present application claims priority based on Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0129027, filed on Oct. 17, 2019, the entire content of which is incorporated herein for all purposes by this reference.
- The present disclosure relates to a UV-curable resin composition enabling thermoforming and a replica film of a real material including the same.
- In order to upgrade the interior and exterior materials for vehicles, especially high-performance vehicles, interior and exterior materials using ultra-high-priced real carbon woven fabrics are being applied. However, real carbon materials are expensive and the processing thereof into parts is complicated.
- Hence, various attempts have been made to replicate real carbon in a manner in which a film having a shape similar to the surface pattern of real carbon is subjected to injection molding using a mold and then to surface coating, and is thus applied to parts.
- These techniques are advantageous because of cost reduction, but suffer from poor outer appearance. In particular, conventional replication processes cannot implement the line width of real carbon, and have a technical limitation that does not implement the inherent three-dimensional effect and glossiness of carbon.
- With the goal of overcoming these problems, attempts have been made to apply UV imprinting techniques, but the properties of a hard UV resin layer cannot shape complex automotive parts that are not flat.

- Hereinafter, a detailed description will be given of a replica film of a real material according to the present disclosure.
-
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing areplica film 1 of a real material according to the present disclosure. With reference thereto, thereplica film 1 may include asubstrate layer 10, aresin layer 20, which is formed on thesubstrate layer 10 and includes afirst surface 21 facing thesubstrate layer 10 and asecond surface 22 opposite the first surface, and aprinting layer 30 provided on theresin layer 20. - The real material may be used without particular limitation, so long as it has an inherent surface texture. Specifically, the real material may be selected from the group consisting of real carbon, real wood, natural cork, real stone, thin-film metal, Hanji and combinations thereof. Preferably useful as the real material is real carbon. According to the present disclosure, a replica film, in which the same surface pattern as the surface pattern of the real material is exposed outside, may be obtained.
- The
substrate layer 10 may include a transparent material, which may include, for example, but is not limited to, any material selected from the group consisting of polycarbonate (PC), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and combinations thereof. - The
substrate layer 10 may have a thickness of 0.125 mm to 0.5 mm. If the thickness thereof is less than 0.125 mm, the depth may not be sufficient to realize thereplica film 1. On the other hand, if the thickness thereof exceeds 0.5 mm, formability may decrease. - The
resin layer 20 may include thesecond surface 22 having the same surface pattern as the surface pattern of the real material. Although the surface pattern of thesecond surface 22 may be illustrated in the form of an irregular structure inFIG. 1 , the surface pattern is not limited thereto, but should be understood to be the same as the surface pattern of the real material, which is selected depending on the end use. - The surface pattern of the
second surface 22 includesrecesses 22 a andprotrusions 22 b. Therecesses 22 a may be depressed by a depth of 100 μm to 250 μm from thesecond surface 22. The criterion for measuring the depth of therecesses 22 a may be the flat surface of theprotrusions 22 b of thesecond surface 22. If the thickness thereof is less than 100 μm, the three-dimensional effect may decrease. On the other hand, if the thickness thereof exceeds 250 μm, formability may decrease and concealability to theprinting layer 30 may decrease. - In the surface pattern of the
second surface 22, therecesses 22 a and theprotrusions 22 b may repeatedly alternate with each other. However, the intervals therebetween may be regular or irregular. Furthermore, therecesses 22 a may be depressed at or close to a right angle from theprotrusions 22 b, as shown inFIG. 1 , or may be depressed obliquely at a predetermined angle. - The
resin layer 20 includes a UV-curable resin composition. The present disclosure is characterized in that both the breaking load and elongation of theresin layer 20 are improved using the UV-curable resin composition containing specific components in predetermined amounts. Accordingly, thereplica film 1 may be formed so as to have flexibility with a radius of curvature of 0.5 mm or more or 0.5 mm to 10 mm, ultimately obtaining areplica film 1 that may be applied to complex automotive parts, which will be described later. - The
printing layer 30 is provided on theresin layer 20 to thus exhibit the overall color of thereplica film 1, and functions to protect theresin layer 20. - The
printing layer 30, without being limited thereto, may be formed by printing ink selected from the group consisting of urethane ink, polyvinyl chloride ink and combinations thereof on theresin layer 20 under conditions of a predetermined number of printing colors. - The ink may be single-component ink or two-component ink. In the case of two-component ink, a curing agent, particularly an isocyanate-based curing agent such as HDI, MDI, TDI, IPDI, etc., may be used, and the amount thereof may be 10 wt % to 20 wt % based on the total weight of the ink composition. If the amount of the curing agent is less than 10 wt %, the properties of the
printing layer 30 may deteriorate, resulting in ink wash-out. On the other hand, if the amount thereof exceeds 20 wt %, printability may decrease. - In the formation of the
printing layer 30, the number of printing colors is not particularly limited, but 4 or more-color printing is preferable. If the number of printing colors is less than 4, ink wash-out may occur when thereplica film 1 is applied to automotive parts. - The UV-curable resin composition according to the present disclosure is specified below.
- The UV-curable resin composition includes a prepolymer (A) including a urethane-based oligomer (a) and an acrylic oligomer (b), an acrylate monomer (B) and a photoinitiator (C).
- The prepolymer is generally a polymer having a relatively low molecular weight, the polymerization of which is stopped at an intermediate stage so as to easily form a final shaped product. The prepolymer may be shaped alone or after reaction with another polymerizable compound, and may be prepared, for example, by reacting an isocyanate compound with a polyol.
- The urethane-based oligomer (a) may contain an acrylate end group. Specifically, the urethane-based oligomer (a) may include a first urethane-based oligomer (a1) including a bifunctional aliphatic urethane acrylate and a second urethane-based oligomer (a2) including a trifunctional aliphatic urethane acrylate.
- The first urethane-based oligomer (a1) is a component for improving yellowing resistance, substrate adhesion and elongation. The first urethane oligomer (a1) may be obtained by reacting a polymer of first isocyanate and polyol with a reactive monomer.
- The first isocyanate may be selected from the group consisting of toluene diisocyanate (TDI), naphthalene-1,5-diisocyanate, p-phenylene dii socyanate, toluidine diisocyanate, 4,4′-diphenyl methane diisocyanate, 4,4′-methylene dicyclohexyl diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate and combinations thereof.
- The polyol is not particularly limited, but may be selected from the group consisting of polyether polyol, polyester polyol, polycarbonate polyol, acryl polyol and combinations thereof, and preferably includes polyester polyol.
- The reactive monomer functions as a crosslinkable monomer so that free radicals generated by the photoinitiator cross-polymerize the double bonds in the reactive monomer to each other to thus perform curing. The reactive monomer may be selected from the group consisting of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate and combinations thereof.
- The first urethane-based oligomer (a1) may have a weight average molecular weight of 2,000 g/mol to 5,000 g/mol, particularly 3,000 g/mol to 4,000 g/mol.
- The first urethane-based oligomer (a1) is obtained by reacting, for example, a polymer of a first isocyanate, namely 4,4′-methylene dicyclohexyl diisocyanate, and a polyester polyol with 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate as the reactive monomer, and may have a weight average molecular weight of 3,000 g/mol.
- The amount of the first urethane-based oligomer (a1) may be 10 wt % to 40 wt % based on the total weight of the UV-curable resin composition. If the amount thereof is less than 10 wt %, the elongation of the resin layer and the adhesion thereof to the substrate may decrease. On the other hand, if the amount thereof exceeds 40 wt %, insufficient curability may result, releasability may decrease and coating performance may decrease with an increase in viscosity.
- The second urethane-based oligomer (a2) is a component for improving curability and reinforcing elongation and breaking load. The second urethane oligomer (a2) may be obtained by reacting a polymer of second isocyanate and polyol with a reactive monomer.
- The second isocyanate may include trifunctional triisocyanate having an isocyanurate structure. For example, the second isocyanate may be selected from the group consisting of (2,4,6-trioxotriazine-1,3,5(2H,4H,6H)-triyl)tris(hexamethylene) isocyanate and combinations thereof.
- The polyol is not particularly limited, but may be selected from the group consisting of, for example, polyether polyol, polyester polyol, polycarbonate polyol, acryl polyol and combinations thereof, and is preferably polyester polyol. The polyol may be the same as or different from the polyol of the first urethane-based oligomer (a1).
- The reactive monomer functions as a crosslinkable monomer so that free radicals generated by the photoinitiator cross-polymerize the double bonds in the reactive monomer to each other to thus perform curing. The reactive monomer may be selected from the group consisting of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate and combinations thereof. The reactive monomer may be the same as or different from the reactive monomer of the first urethane-based oligomer (a1).
- The second urethane-based oligomer (a2) may have a weight average molecular weight of 1,000 g/mol to 4,000 g/mol, particularly 2,000 g/mol to 3,000 g/mol.
- The second urethane-based oligomer (a2) is obtained by reacting a polymer of a second isocyanate, namely (2,4,6-trioxotriazine-1,3,5(2H,4H,6H)-triyl)tris(hexamethylene) isocyanate, and a polyester polyol with pentaerythritol triacrylate as the reactive monomer, and may have a weight average molecular weight of 2,000 g/mol.
- The amount of the second urethane-based oligomer (a2) may be 5 wt % to 30 wt % based on the total weight of the UV-curable resin composition. If the amount thereof is less than 5 wt %, the curability and releasability of the resin layer may decrease. On the other hand, if the amount thereof exceeds 30 wt %, elongation may decrease.
- The acrylic oligomer (b) is a component for enhancing adhesion of the substrate. The acrylic oligomer (b) may include acrylic acrylate.
- The acrylic oligomer (b) may have a weight average molecular weight of 40,000 g/mol to 70,000 g/mol, particularly 50,000 g/mol to 60,000 g/mol.
- The amount of the acrylic oligomer (b) may be 1 wt % to 15 wt % based on the total weight of the UV-curable resin composition. If the amount thereof is less than 1 wt %, the effect of addition of the acrylic oligomer (b) may become insignificant. On the other hand, if the amount thereof exceeds 15 wt %, the viscosity may increase and thus coating performance may deteriorate.
- The acrylate monomer (B) is a component for improving the properties of the resin layer, and functions such that free radicals generated by the photoinitiator cross-polymerize the double bonds in the acrylate monomer to each other to thus perform curing.
- The acrylate monomer (B) may be selected from the group consisting of tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate, isobornyl acrylate, hydroxyl pivalic acid neopentyl glycol diacrylate and combinations thereof, and preferably includes tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate, isobornyl acrylate and hydroxyl pivalic acid neopentyl glycol diacrylate.
- Specifically, the acrylate monomer (B) may include, based on the total weight of the UV-curable resin composition, 10 wt % to 30 wt % of tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate, 5 wt % to 20 wt % of isobornyl acrylate and 1 wt % to 10 wt % of hydroxyl pivalic acid neopentyl glycol diacrylate.
- If the amount of tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate is less than 10 wt %, insufficient dilution ability may result and substrate adhesion may decrease. On the other hand, if the amount thereof exceeds 30 wt %, curability may decrease and thus unreacted materials may remain.
- If the amount of isobornyl acrylate is less than 5 wt %, substrate adhesion may decrease and poor chemical resistance may result. On the other hand, if the amount thereof exceeds 20 wt %, curability may decrease and thus unreacted materials may remain.
- If the amount of hydroxyl pivalic acid neopentyl glycol diacrylate exceeds 10 wt %, elongation may decrease.
- The photoinitiator (C) absorbs ultraviolet light and photolyzes to generate free radicals. The free radicals cross-polymerize the double bonds of the prepolymer, acrylate monomer and the like to each other to thus perform curing.
- The photoinitiator (C) may be selected from the group consisting of a short-wavelength photoinitiator, a long-wavelength photoinitiator and combinations thereof, and preferably a short-wavelength photoinitiator and a long-wavelength photoinitiator are used together.
- The short-wavelength photoinitiator may include 1-hydroxy cyclohexyl phenyl ketone, etc.
- The amount of the short-wavelength photoinitiator may be 1 wt % to 5 wt % based on the total weight of the UV-curable resin composition. If the amount thereof is less than 1 wt %, no surface curing may occur. On the other hand, if the amount thereof exceeds 5 wt %, excessive curing may occur.
- The long-wavelength photoinitiator may include diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide (TPO), etc.
- The amount of the long-wavelength photoinitiator may be 0.5 wt % to 1 wt % based on the total weight of the UV-curable resin composition. If the amount thereof is less than 0.5 wt %, insufficient curing may occur. On the other hand, if the amount thereof exceeds 1 wt %, yellowing may occur.
- The UV-curable resin composition may further include an additive selected from the group consisting of a UV stabilizer, a heat-resistant stabilizer, a dispersant, a matting agent, a defoamer and combinations thereof.
- A method of manufacturing a replica film of a real material using the UV-curable resin composition is specified below.
- The method of manufacturing a replica film of a real material may include obtaining a stack by forming a resin layer including the UV-curable resin composition on a substrate layer, forming the same surface pattern as the surface pattern of the real material on the second surface of the resin layer, and subjecting the stack to thermoforming.
- The forming the surface pattern is not particularly limited, and may include, for example, an imprinting process.
- After the formation of the surface pattern, curing the resin layer with UV light may be further performed.
- The thermoforming may be carried out using a typical thermoforming device including a mold having a desired shape, a hot plate capable of transferring heat to the stack, and the like. Here, the thermoforming is preferably conducted in a state in which the following conditions 1) to 3) are satisfied:
- 1) a mold temperature of higher than 130° C. to lower than 150° C.
- 2) a hot-plate temperature of 140° C. to 150° C.
- 3) a pressing time of longer than 15 sec to 20 sec or less.
- When using the above-described UV-curable resin composition under the above thermoforming conditions, it is possible to prevent the wrinkling of the resin layer and the stack may be flexible, with a radius of curvature of 0.5 mm or more or 0.5 mm to 10 mm.
- A better understanding of the present disclosure will be given through the following examples. However, these examples are merely set forth to illustrate the present disclosure, but are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present disclosure.
- Respective UV-curable resin compositions were prepared using the prepolymers shown in Table 1 below, followed by UV imprinting to form resin layers. The prepolymer of Example 1 was composed of a urethane-based oligomer and an acrylic oligomer, the prepolymer of Comparative Example 1 was composed of a urethane-based oligomer and bisphenol A, and the prepolymer of Comparative Example 2 was composed exclusively of a urethane-based oligomer.
- Here, all of the acrylate monomer, photoinitiator, additive and the like, as the remaining components, were set to the same kinds and amounts.
